Hi, we're going to be upgrading our current regulat Quickbooks (5 user lic.) with Enterprise. I was wondering...is it possible to install the Enterprise on a PC w/o a previous Quickbooks on it, as one of the clients, without it trying to be the server installation? That is, install it on a fresh PC to look at the way it works and feels before we upgrade the existing server and 3 clients, w/o messing anything up?
Thanks for any feedback! Liam
Oh, I guess I should note that all the PC's in question, including the one we want to put Enterprise on to take a look at, are networked. So, will putting Enterprise on a PC as a client before upgrading the server with Enterprise, mess something up? Thanks!
Yes, you can. When you install, select a "Standard" installation. Then, when you have the server upgraded, just point the PC to the file on the server.
Although, when you are ready to install on the existing installations, we installed in separate folders (technically not an upgrade). That way, if something screwed up, we could still run the old version side by side.
